Complex Fluids and Rheometry in Microfluidics

摘要: Complex fluids are everywhere, literally, just need to look around you, or even closer, inside your own body. These named complex because when they flow, do not hold a linear relationship between the rate of deformation and stress tensors, consequently Newton’s law viscosity is suitable for them. In this chapter, importance performing rheological characterization choosing right constitutive model highlighted, in particular flowing at microscale, where elastic behavior these enhanced very small Reynolds numbers. Additionally, potential microfluidics as platform characterizations tackled.
